After 2 years I decided it was time again to mount the slopes. We left on a early Saturday morning to by-pass traffic and possible line-ups at the rental places. It was a beautiful day for snowboarding & skiing, 2 of our crew members we're skiing and 2 we're snowboarding so it was a good combo.

Although I haven't gone snowboarding for 2 years and I am reasonable on a board, my friends thought it was funny to start off on double-black diamond, which is the hardest slope on the hill, which wasn't funny and is damn dangerous if you aren't experienced. Thus it took me an awful long time to get done, basically without even turning once.

Throughout the day I managed to fall quite a lot which resulted in lots of pain in the days after but all-in-all it was a fantastic day at Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Canada.
